Detective Conan: Becoming a Zaibatsu - Starting with Joining the Winery

Xiaolan is a kind and gentle person!

Therefore, when she learned that Lin Mo knew the truth but deliberately slandered Amuro Tooru, she did feel a little awkward.

no way!

In a sense, Lin Mo and Shinichi Kudo, whom she had previously met, were two people with completely opposite personalities.

At the same Dorobiga Park, during that visit with Shinichi Kudo, that guy kept talking about Sherlock Holmes and detective stuff.

Lin Mo was different!

Not only was he humorous and witty, but Lin Mo could also handle any topic he was asked.

Moreover, he was also very interested in the topics he discussed.

and so.

If we disregard the fact that Shinichi Kudo is my childhood friend and I have indeed invested a lot of feelings in him, there is no doubt that I am more comfortable with Lin Mo.

but……

Lin Mo's behavior of deliberately slandering Amuro Tooru even though he knew it wasn't true still made Ran feel a little uncomfortable.

"Brother Lin Mo, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

"Mr. Amuro is a very good person. You know perfectly well that he's not that kind of person, yet you still slander him in public like this..."

"Isn't this a bit unethical?"

Hearing Xiaolan's words, Lin Mo also became serious.

Although these words weren't harsh, and Xiao Lan's tone was quite gentle, Lin Mo still keenly sensed Xiao Lan's discomfort.

This matter must be taken seriously!

If this knot in Xiaolan's heart isn't untied, even if they remain friends on the surface, based on my understanding of Xiaolan, the two of them will definitely drift further and further apart in the future.

After all, differing values ​​are a serious matter!

But how do I put it?

I definitely can't tell her the truth. After all, Ran is just a student, and her feelings are written all over her face. If I really told her the truth, no matter how well she pretends, Amuro Tooru would still be able to see through it at a glance.

But if she doesn't say anything, Xiaolan will definitely have a grudge.

and so.

After a moment's thought, Lin Mo decided to tell the truth, but not everything.

Core principle: Do not deceive!

Because he knew that although Xiaolan seemed gentle, she actually had her own set of logic, and what she disliked most was being lied to.

Conan...

This is a negative example!

Why did Ran and Shinichi's relationship run into problems? To put it simply, it was because Lin Mo reminded them several times that Ran noticed something was wrong with Conan.

Ran is actually very intelligent. With Lin Mo's reminder, she began to silently observe Conan's every move. Even though she still couldn't quite understand it, she was roughly certain of what was going on.

Conan is Shinichi Kudo!

She gave Conan several chances, but Conan was stubborn and wouldn't tell her, always trying to fool Ran...

This is what truly angered Xiaolan, leading to her current state.

Therefore, I absolutely cannot make the same mistake!

After taking a deep breath, Lin Mo said, "Xiao Lan, come with me!"

Xiao Lan didn't quite understand, but seeing Lin Mo's serious expression, she still followed him to the top of the small hill that had been transformed into a tropical rainforest.

The place is incredibly empty, and there are very few people around.

Seeing this, Lin Mo was very satisfied.

but.

Before Lin Mo could even speak, the quick-witted Xiao Lan couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lin Mo brought me here specifically, could it be that Mr. Amuro has a problem?"

Lin Mo was stunned!

He didn't expect that Xiaolan would guess it before he even said anything.

He nodded, then slowly began to speak.

"Yes, that's right!"

"Amuro Tooru does have a problem, but I'm sorry I can't tell you all the specifics."

"As for the reason, it's very simple!"

"Ran, you're just a student. You haven't studied acting professionally, so your facial expressions after learning the truth won't fool Amuro Tooru."

"Of course."

"Ran, you don't need to worry too much. Amuro Tooru isn't a good person, but he's not a bad person either."

"Don't rush, let me think about what I can tell you."

After saying that.

Lin Mo immediately fell into thought, after all, this matter was indeed difficult to judge.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Xiao Lan didn't urge Lin Mo; on the contrary, she grew to like him even more.

Because Lin Mo didn't try to deceive me. Perhaps he wouldn't tell me everything, but he would tell me the specific reasons and then try to tell me what he could say.

That's enough!

Especially with Conan as a negative example, she found Lin Mo more and more pleasing to the eye. Even the little knot in her heart just now, even though Lin Mo hadn't started to explain, had begun to slowly dissolve on its own.

no way!

Ran is such a kind and gentle person. Sometimes she doesn't actually ask for much at all, so Conan doesn't need to deceive her at all.

All I need to do is tell Ran that I am Shinichi Kudo!

There's no need to mention the Dark Organization; just say you've run into trouble and need Ran to wait for you for a while. Ran will definitely be willing to wait.

But what about reality?

Everyone in the world knows Conan's identity except Ran herself. Is this what you call doing it for Ran's own good?

Actually.

This is also what makes Ran angry, and it's why she chooses to gradually distance herself from Shinichi Kudo.

It's just that due to some historical reasons, she hasn't yet made up her mind to take that crucial step.

Ten minutes later.

After a brief moment of thought, Lin Mo looked at Xiao Lan again and spoke.

"first……"

"In the alley next to the Metropolitan Police Department, there is an Amuro Detective Agency. The boss there is the Amuro Tooru you met today."

"Let me put it this way."

"In that seemingly unremarkable detective agency, all the furniture was high-end solid wood, and all the household appliances were top-of-the-line brands."

"But what about now?"

"Amuro Tooru, instead of running his own detective agency, willingly works as a waiter in the coffee shop downstairs from your house?"

"And Amuro's cleaning was exceptionally thorough, even more so than that of a typical waiter!"

"I also had someone investigate Amuro Tooru. This guy has worked as a courier, food deliveryman, banquet waiter, tennis coach, researcher, and so on..."

As soon as Lin Mo spoke, Xiao Lan was completely dumbfounded.

Hold the grass!

She also noticed a blind spot; Amuro Tooru was definitely acting strangely.

Despite owning his own detective agency, and in Lin Mo's words, Amuro Tooru's agency is furnished entirely with high-end furniture and appliances...

This shows that Amuro Tooru is not short of money at all!

But this detective agency owner, who is not short of money, is practically a king of temporary jobs, having done so many temporary service jobs.

Even Xiaolan felt something was wrong.

After taking a deep breath, she couldn't help but ask, "Just who exactly is this Mr. Amuro?"
